Tn. Only Way to Conquer Dy.pspsIa.

IL is perfectly preposterous to in. troduce pcpsin and other artificial sol. vents into the stomach, in the expec- tation that they will as-ist digestion by acting on the food itself. They vii! not. Nor is it possible to thus overcome dyspepsia. The only want to conquer that disorder, and prevent the numerous diseases and disabilities which it assuredly provokes, is to re- new the activity of gastric action by strengthening the stomach. Hostel ter's Stomach Bitters eradicates the most inveteratc forms of indigestion by restoring vitality to the alimentary organs, and those which arc tributary to them. The liver, the bowels, the kidneys and the nerves, no less than the stomach, experience the invig CT ating effects of that standard tonic, which possesses alterative properties that greatly enhance its beneficial in- fluence, and give permanence to its effects which they would not other. wise possess. janr-Im

In order that permanent success may

Failure after failure must come to & peo-

This country he's the most nutritious
grass OF any country we know of. All the
grasses ere OF the very finest quaIity, and
keep all classes of stock remarkably fat
and put fine growth on young stock The
seasons, though somewhat irregular, sell
dom if ever TAIL TO grow abundantly of
food for stock. We have never yet seen
year that did not rain sufficiently to
raise abundance OF stock food.
Then what will be more sure and mere
remunerating than stock-fsrming in such

A Good Ticket.
Boston Globe.

"Lincoln and Grant" is the latest sug-
gestion for the Republican Presidential
ticket.
There could not be better suggestion
or more appropriate combination.
Robert Todd Lincoln is q Chicago law
yer and has served as Secretary CT War.
His chief qualification for the Presidency
is that his father was President, the
ablest and pureat o. the Republican chief
magistrates.
Frederick Dent Grant i3 gentleman OF
large sef-esteem who has never shown
any particular fitness for Any particular
position. His chs! qualification fer the
Presidency or Presidency is that his
t.ther was President, the most notable
but one Of sll Tie Republican Presidents.
By all means let the ticket be Lincoln
and Grant That ticket would be its o"n
platform. Nothing could SO distinctly
serve notice on the voters of the United
States that their SURFACES are solicited
fol the Republican party, not Tor Whist
that party is, but for what 1t used to be,
And after all, that is the srongeSt claim
It has to the peoples consideration. Lin
coin and Grant let it be, and the platform
might appropriately read, "Plesse remem-
Der that this party has seen better days. "
But it is s pity that the manipuIatoTs Of
the Republican party machinery could not
attend the Concord school for one term
and learn something about the GOneness
Of the Was.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Representa-
tive Wilkens of Ohio, who has Just come
from New York, informed your correspon-
dent that it was generally expected in
financial circles the President Will call an
extrs session OF Congress to meet early
in November to take steps to release the
treasury surplus and prevent financial
panic, and he is CT the opinion 1t ought
to be done and will be done. The panic,
seid he, is not Only impending but has
already begun. Stocks went down sew
ersl points all round to-day. Money is
scarce, brokers can borrow money only
time and they csnnot get It.
All the treasury can do "a the way Of re-
deeming and buying bonds and anticipa-
ting the payment OF interest
WILL NOT BE ENOUGH
to relieve the market, and the legality
OF the Tfeasurer'5 sction in the matter OF
buying bonds Is questionable. If Con
gress is not called in special session there
will be waste Of time. Fer the frs;
month or six weeks nothing will be done,
but il the President calls an extra session
to meet in November for the purpose of re-
ducing the treasury surplus the members
of that subjact on their minds and
there will be immediate action.
